Abstract

Behaviour disorders in childhood and adolescence are a growing concern in Nigeria, with significant implications for the educational system. This study examines the prevalence, characteristics, and impact of behaviour disorders, such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Conduct Disorder, and Anxiety Disorders, on students' academic performance, social relationships, and overall well-being. A comprehensive review of existing literature and empirical data from Nigerian schools reveals a lack of awareness, inadequate support services, and insufficient teacher training in addressing behaviour disorders. The findings highlight the need for a multidisciplinary approach to address these issues, including: teacher training on behaviour management and support strategies, integration of mental health services into school systems, promotion of inclusive education practices, encouragement of parental involvement and community engagement and development and implementation of evidence-based interventions. The study recommends policy changes and implementation of support services to address behaviour disorders in Nigerian schools. By addressing behaviour disorders in childhood and adolescence, Nigeria can improve educational outcomes, reduce social and emotional difficulties, and promote a healthier and more productive society.

Abstract

This study explores the critical link between early childhood care education (ECCE) and national security. Early Childhood care education lays the foundation for future cognitive, social, and emotional development, which in turn, shapes a nation's human capital, social cohesion, and economic prosperity. A comprehensive review of existing literature and empirical data reveals that high-quality ECCE programs can mitigate risk factors associated with national insecurity, such as poverty, inequality, and social unrest. Conversely, inadequate ECCE can perpetuate cycles of disadvantage, undermining national stability and security. This study argues that investing in ECCE is a strategic imperative for national security, as it fosters a skilled and productive workforce, enhances social cohesion and community resilience, supports early intervention and prevention of social ills, promotes inclusive and equitable development and encourages a culture of peace, tolerance, and understanding. The study recommends that policymakers prioritize Early Childhood Care Education as a critical component of national security strategies, ensuring that all children have access to high-quality early childhood care and education.
